Our Extended Teaching Care is a vital
ministry in our church as we continue to seek to
minister to young families with Preschoolers.
The majority of our families with preschoolers
are already doing their part to help with this
ministry.
However, it takes much more than just them.
We currently are in need of the following for
this one hour every 8 week commitment:
2’s and 3’s (8 people) 4’s and 5’s (1 person)
Consider helping us in this ministry as
well as pass the word to those you know
in your Sunday School classes and Bible
Studies.
Discipleship Opportunities
The Anatomy of a Disciple: So Many Believers. So Few Disciples. is an incredibly fresh,
practical and relatable read, identifying 8 elements of Christ's life that ought to be reflected in
yours: Humbly Submitted. Biblically Formed. Sacrificially Generous. Morally Discerning.
Relationally Healthy. Intentional Blessing. Culturally Engaged. Inclusive Community. Using
these 8 elements, The Anatomy of a Disciple Self-Assessment identifies areas where you are
becoming more like Christ and those that are far from the Lord. What if you knew exactly
what a disciple of Christ looked like? What if you knew with certainty – whether or not – you
were actively becoming more like Him? Do you think your spiritual life would look different? Do you think it would feel
different?

Philippians 4:4-7 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it
again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The
Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in
every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which
transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and
your minds in Christ Jesus.
